Cell-free DNA fragmentomics: a universal framework for early cancer detection and monitoring. [PDF]
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragmentomics has emerged as a powerful and noninvasive approach for cancer detection, characterization, and monitoring. By analyzing genome-wide fragmentation patterns - including fragment length distributions, end motifs, nucleosome footprints, and copy number variations - cfDNA fragmentomics provides high-resolution insights ...

Fragmentomics features of cell free DNA in eating disorders
Eating disorders are lacking reliable biomarkers despite their severe psychiatric and medical burden. In this study, we examined plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from patients with the restrictive (ANR), or binge–purge (ANBP) subtypes of anorexia nervosa, as

Early detection of urological tumors based on genomic characteristics of cell-free DNA fragments: a multi-center study [PDF]
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has shown potential in distinguishing cancer patients from healthy individuals. This study investigates cfDNA fragmentomics—fragmentation patterns, end motifs (EDMs), and breakpoint motifs (BPMs)—to develop an early detection method
